As soon as he finished speaking, random arrows flew in, and the two people fell to the ground dead. Mu Feibai quickly pulled up his face towel and said to Bailian: "Hide."

Then he rushed out. Bailian hurriedly pulled Qingyu and hid behind a tree. He only heard the shouts of killing in the distance, which were powerful commands. The army was the army of the Snow Country.

What's going on? The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind? But the army clearly arrived later, and King Longyu used Jianghu people to transport items, which was obviously not allowed to be known, so how could he send the army to follow?

In the midst of confusion, the shouts of killing disappeared, and someone was heard commanding the pursuit. It seemed that Mu Feibai had run away.

Then, I heard the sound of neat footsteps running towards here. What appeared in front of me was indeed the army of the Snow Kingdom, with bronze armor and flying feathers on their heads, an army of guards?! [

"Princess, Li Zhaohai, the deputy commander of the general's bodyguard army, has been ordered to protect the princess when she returns to the palace. Please come out to meet the princess."

Bai Lian was stunned for a moment. He came to find her, but he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. Qing Yu asked in a low voice: "Princess, what should I do?"

Balian sighed and said, "We've obviously discovered us, what else can we do? If anyone asks, it's because I'm homesick and sneaked out to meet my parents' family."

Qing Yu nodded, and then the two of them walked out. All the guards knelt down, and Bailian sighed: "When did you find out that I left the imperial capital?"

Li Zhaohai knelt down and said: "I don't know, I am just ordered to go out of the city to search for the princess."

"Whose order?"

"Commander-in-Chief."

Balian drooped his eyes, squeezed a bit, and said, "Whose order is the commander-in-chief?"

"This subordinate is not clear about it."

Bai Lian glanced at Qing Yu, and then said: "Let's go."

Li Zhaohai quickly stood up and said: "Bring the carriage over quickly."

A guard drove over in a carriage. Before getting on the carriage, Bai Lian glanced at the blood and corpses on the ground. Li Zhaohai had already begun to instruct the guards to clean up the scene and extract evidence.

Bai Lian prepared her escape plan for half a month, but it all came to nothing due to a strange combination of circumstances. Sitting in the carriage, she and Qing Yu didn't speak, but held their hands tightly together.

What's going on with this caravan? What is King Longyu's purpose? And why did Mu Feibai hijack the caravan? What's the problem between him and King Longyu?

And now in the imperial city, what is waiting for her?

There was a faint light on the horizon, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

The chief butler stood there. Bailian got off the carriage and turned his head to look at the escorting guards. He suddenly felt as if he had come to the palace for the first time.

"Princess, the prince is waiting in your room."

Balian looked at the housekeeper and smiled bitterly in his heart, it was really like the first time he entered the house.[

Following the butler all the way, the butler finally stopped at the door. Qingyu stood behind the butler. Bai Lian glanced at her, stepped over the threshold and walked in.

As expected, Duanmu Ruoze was sitting on the heated kang at the north end, his brows furrowed tightly, his handsome eyes holding dark circles under his eyes, his lips pursed, looking at his wife who was dressed in coarse men's clothing.

He must have had a bad night. His wife ran away, alerting the army of guards to search. The caravan that had no idea what effect it had on him was also robbed, and was discovered by the army of guards who were searching for her. She must have also

It will attract Duanmu Canglan's attention. Maybe if you follow the clues, you will find out something.

Balian felt even more sorry for him and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"What's going on?" He got straight to the point this time. He really wanted to know why Balian ran away.

Balian lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I will tell you the truth in front of the prince. Because I was made difficult by the eldest princess and fell ill, I was very wronged. I dreamed about my father every night. I missed home so much but didn't dare.

He said, so he left the house secretly and wanted to go home for a visit."

"You didn't even dare to tell me that you were wronged, but you had the guts to run away?"

Balian's gaze flickered under her fan-like eyelashes, and then she raised her head, her big eyes watery: "I originally wanted not to cause trouble to the prince. I know that the prince is very tired every day, and he also has a lot of influence on the eldest princess's affairs.

Embarrassed, looking at the haggard appearance of the prince, I am also very heartbroken, but who knew that I would cause more trouble to the prince, I’m sorry..."

After talking about it, she even sobbed. Duanmu Ruoze sighed softly, walked over and pulled her, letting her nestle in his arms.

"We are husband and wife. If you feel unhappy and want to go back to your parents' home, just tell me and I will send someone to take you there. Don't do this kind of sneaking away again. It will make a big fuss and have a bad impact on your reputation.

"

"I understand." Although love is not the first priority for him, there is no doubt that King Longyu loves her.

After a long while, he patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Okay, quickly change your clothes and follow me to the palace to apologize."

Balian straightened up, blinked and asked, "Why should you go to the palace to plead guilty?"

Duanmu Ruoze said with pity and helplessness: "Do you know how you were discovered?"

Balian shook her head. She also wanted to know what was going on. Duanmu Ruoze sighed and said, "You change your clothes first, and I'll tell you later."

Bai Lian glanced at the door: "Qing Yu has obeyed my order, so don't embarrass her."

Duanmu Ruoze shouted to the door: "Let Qingyu come in to serve the princess."

Qingyu hurriedly ran in and helped Baili'an into the inner room with several maids. Duanmu Ruoze sat outside and told her what happened last night.

"You got off the carriage and turned into the alley with Qing Yu, right? The servant of the eldest princess's palace happened to be out on business at that time and saw it. He went back and informed his aunt. Her aunt immediately sent someone to the palace to inquire. Naturally, the chief steward said that the princess had gone.

It’s the princess’s mansion.”

Balian's men's clothes have been taken off, and the maids are dressing her in the princess's fine clothes. She frowned and asked through the bead curtain: "Then what? What did she do?"

Duanmu Ruoze sighed: "My aunt went directly to the palace and shouted that the princess was missing, which made the whole imperial city know. Brother Huang immediately sent guards to look for you. Do you think we have to go to the palace to apologize?

"

Balian clenched his fists, damn old woman, seizing every opportunity to harm her. Therefore, her escape plan was ruined, otherwise she would have gone to who knows where.[

Dressed neatly, Balian followed Duanmu Ruoze into the prince's carriage and went to the palace together.

The guards cleared the way and the carriage moved forward smoothly. You could hear the shouts of merchants along the way and the discussion of the people watching the royal carriage.

Duanmu Ruoze and Balian were sitting side by side. The latter was still thinking about why the former didn't ask her about the caravan. The former spoke at this moment: "I heard that you experienced a robbery last night.

Were you frightened?"

coming.

"Of course we were scared. Qingyu and I hid behind the tree, for fear that those people would kill us too."
